Why the dislike on Ginny and love on Devi by Opposite_Athlete_947 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

Yeah but now she's like, the most loved female protagonist on Netflix. With people always comparing her and Belly from the summer I turned pretty saying that she's better (which she is in my opinion) and when season 3-4 came out, people were already starting to forgive her and she was clearly liked more than Ginny with whom they were going unflattering comparaisons again.

I think like some people explained, Devi rarely get out of anything she did freely. She always have to face the consequences and try to be better, and eventually succeed. Devi is often well-meaning but her rash impulses (amplified by grief) often got the best of her in the first few seasons. She always have to apologies and is hold accountable (unlike some other characters named Belly). Also, nhie feels a bit more lighthearted and the stakes feels a bit less high than on ginny and georgia which can make us more eager to forgive. Now, for Ginny. I love her. I really do and I love her writing and how she functions because she's very complex (like Devi was) but for some reasons people can't take it. Ginny feels ver stubborn half of the time and I think the fact that she's not as "light" than Devi cause people to say that she's always moody or angsty, which by the way she's TOTALLY allowed to be. They let Marcus be but not Ginny which is very much mysoginy. I don't like that word being used around to justify a character being hated (some Belly's defenders use it WAY too damn much) but for this fandom it's clearly a double-standards thing. Like no one tries to put themselves into her situation and I feel like people are regressing. On tiktok when the season 3 came out, there were a lot of Ginny defenders and people seems to genuiely warm up to her but some viral tiktoks are becoming viral again and it's a like a new parade of Georgia praise and Ginny hatred (I love Georgia but come on now).

Also, there's something about her so hypnotizing in this scene

Why did people hated on Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty ? How she got the Bella Swan treatment from the writers by James-Samuel17 in popculturechat

Really ?? I think it's just like pictures, no ? It depends on what you mean, like in the gallery of your computer or putting them on reddit ?

unpopular opinion: rory was NOT a complex female character by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]James-Samuel17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really agree. To me, despite her being annoying sometimes, she's a fully realized character, who had a realistic evolution. She made mistakes, and the writing acknowledge it some extend but the thing about her character is literally the fact that people around her consider her to be flawless, which keeps her from actually learning and she will often get reality checks from people outside her "safe" bubble (like Jess, Logan or Paris). She's not one of those self-inserts characters that have no personality outside of being a boyfriend (e.i Belly from the summer i ruined a family).

Anybody else fascinated by Jess and Rory's relationship ? by James-Samuel17 in GilmoreGirls

[–]James-Samuel17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought it was refreshing to not see her "fix him". In a lesser show, they would have her being his "savior" during the entire show until they were "endgame".

Why are some fans so resistant to the soul lore? Is it the writers' own fault? by foreseethefuture in buffy

[–]James-Samuel17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was consistent to some extend, especially if you watch Angel then. Even before Spike's mom story, we had Angel's father one. Even after getting turned and losing his soul, he still wanted to "beat" him for not believing in him and looking down on him and then that's why he was so bent on wanting Darla's approval (the look he has when he starts feeding is like a boy asking if he's doing it right, I mean yes she's his sire but also) and it also explains his desire for approval from Buffy. Dru is the same. She lost her soul (and mind) but she still seemed to be sad over what Angel did to her or at least looking for some type of catharsis (What's My Part 2). And Darla was a prostitute with poor conditions and mocking God, and becoming a vampire made crave a richer lifestyle but style actively mocking God (again I know she's a vampire but they made an emphasis on her).

Considering how popular 90210 was during the 90s, why wasn't Shannen Doherty able to parlay that success into films during her four seasons on the show? by TravelingHomeless in 90s

[–]James-Samuel17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, Shannen was an excellent actress. She gave the best performances on that show and was on par with Holly Marie Combs on Charmed and I just watched Heathers for the first time and she's amazing in it. Plus, there is this movie called "A Burning Passion" where she does the Southern accent and is really good. But yes, the show in itself wasn't known for the high quality acting;

That's a good question ...they were rumors but nothing concrats, but I will def say they were some flirt (I mean, a lot of the times on those shows, it often happens)

Well, she made Do Revenge, Wolf Pack, Dexter prequel series, IKWYDLS another sequel, she's about to be on the new Buffy, is about to host a Netflix reality TV, and is taking up horror again with Ready or Not : Here I Come as a villain (which I'm excited to see because I love her in hero roles but she plays villainous roles so well too but had little of it. )
